I was trying to get syslogd (FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE) to accept all incoming messages (no really, I have a good reason why), and couldn't get it to accept 0.0.0.0/0 as accept from any IP. An IP address of 0.0.0.0 with a mask of 0 means any IP address to me, but syslogd interprets it as 0.0.0.0 with a mask of 255.255.255.255: [root@test1]# syslogd -d -a 0.0.0.0/0 allowaddr: rule 0: numeric, addr = 0.0.0.0, mask = 255.255.255.255; port = 514 off & running.... Is this by design or accident? What is the proper syntax for syslogd to accept messages from any IP?
